FRIDAY 29th/ MARCH 2019.
I was up early again this morning, for the
last time this week, and after a quick freshen up I shot off on my travels down
to Sabinillas for our weekly shopping, I popped into ‘ ItZabar’ for my usual
toast & tea before ‘ Mercadona’ opened, I then called into the ‘Ferreterias’
for some light bulbs, he told me from September it’s only going to be ‘ LED’ bulbs!
I then called into the local ‘ Halal’ Butchers
next door, where I pick up some spices, he had on show some large ‘Legs of Lamb’-
as well as his usual selection of meats, I asked him the price of the ‘Lamb’
and was pleasantly surprised! Our next ‘ Roast ‘!! - in a week’s time. Watch this space.
I picked up the local newspapers and a
Birthday Card, from the ‘ English Bookshop’ before going along to the far end
of a very windy, storm lashed, promenade, as the ‘Mediterranean’ crashed onto
the beach, to the local market for some fresh flowers & wall plants, it was
then time to shoot back up the hill, through the vine fields, on the way
passing a new ‘Venta’ that is about to open, that a Spanish friend owns, it’s
had workmen over the past few weeks getting it re-painted, a new car-park
finished & refurbished inside, over the years various people have rented
it, with no luck, this time it’s looking rather good for ‘ Venta La Vista ‘! Watch this space.
This morning it’s very cold & windy, as
the ‘Levante’ breeze continues to blow in from the Mediterranean, it was cloudy
with dark clouds on the horizon, with no sign of the sun braking though, the
threat of the ‘ wet-stuff’ is in the air, possibly later today and then over
the weekend, only reaching 17 defs+ - next week is not looking much better, to
start, then the breeze is due to drop by mid-week, bringing with it the sunshine
again, going back up to 20/21 degs at times by next weekend.
See below the forecast for Estepona’ over
the next few days!
For our supper this evening we are having ‘
Pan- Seared Fillets of Rodaballo - Turbot ‘ – finished ‘A La Meuniere’ style, dredged in flour, and pan-fried in foaming Lemon
Parsley Butter, served with finely sliced ‘ French’ Green Beans, Broccoli
Florets and Baby New Potatoes in the skins.
" Rodaballo - Turbot " - The 'Queen' of fish!
On Saturday evening we are having again ‘
Grilled Fillet Steaks’ with all the trimmings and then on ‘ Mothering Sunday’
it’s going to be a rolled “ Roast Aged Sirloin of Beef “ with Yorkshire
Pudding, a large selection of Vegetables and of course ‘ Goose-Fat’ Roast Potatoes
and my famous ‘ finger-licking’ Deep-Pan Gravy!
This afternoon we will be back watching all
the ‘ Quiz Shows ‘ that we follow ‘ Countdown, Tipping Point, The Chase,
Pointless, Egg Heads ‘ and then later we will catch the final of ‘ Master Chef’
with three lady ‘ cooks going for the win! Last night we caught later a good
film “ The American “ from 2010, starring George Clooney in the title role, as
a gunsmith and contract killer, who’s bosses/handlers try to assassinate him, watch it to find out what happens!
Thoughts for the Day; See above.
